And it's pull and squeeze and pull and squeeze
Pretty little silver fishes
And it's pull and squeeze and pull and squeeze
Pull the fish off, girls.

Song actually about herring roe collection, but this is probably similar. On the other hand, cod are a lot bigger than herring, so it's possible that instead, they simply cut open the cod and remove the relevant organ as part of the process of butchering the rest of the fish.
